Configuring script packages to run on demand

By default, script packages that use the virtual system plug-in are configured to run when the virtual system has finished starting during initial creation. You must change this default behavior for the shared services client plug-in by configuring your script packages to run on demand.

Before you begin

To complete this task, you must be assigned the Workload resources administration role with permission to Manage workload resources (Full permission).

Procedure

  1. Click Catalog > Script Packages. If you are on 2.3.3.3, click Pattern development > Components > Script Packages.
  2. From the list of available script packages, select the script package to be updated.
  3. In the details for the selected script, in the Executes field, select either of the following options:
    • when I initiate it
    • at virtual system creation and when I initiate it

What to do next

Deploy your configured script package as part of a virtual system pattern. To initiate the running of a deployed script package, click the start icon that is displayed next to the script name for a selected virtual machine. You can run the script as many times as needed.
